Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

Chris says:"Simple yet deep"

Publisher's Summary

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less offers a manual that helps listeners intentionally and ultimately focus on a very few priorities in their lives that are really meaningful and remove those that are nonessential. We all continue saying yes to more opportunities and projects that come our way, even though we are not sure any of them are important or essential to our lives, and we are already overcommitted to deadlines and projects that may in fact be nonessentials. The essentialists must ask themselves whether these projects are important or essential before making any type of commitment or taking on responsibility if they want to live lives that are meaningful. The intent of this book is to show you why you should do this and how to do it.
